Creating external threads?

working on a school project

trying to make a socket head cap screw with 1/4-20 UNC thread.

I am very use to Pro Engineer, how do I make an external thread in CoCreate? The help section stated to use the settings tab but I do not see one.

Re: Creating external threads?

Are you trying to cut a helical thread, or use the Machining process that allows you to show a simplified thread form in 2D? For standard fasteners, I usually download them from www.mcmaster.com

To cut a helical thread, you need to look in the Freeform menus, to do the simplified, you need to look in the Machining menu

Both sound to me like you are using one of the Personal Evaluation versions. You definitely should ADD the version information to your posts - or to your system information. Otherwise you get answer(s) which would not work with your version at all!

have a look to : http://osd.cad.de/lisp_3d_01.htm

pick up
* os_gewinde_aussen.lsp (März 2004)
* gdm_m1_aussengewinde.lsp (Mai 2006)

if these tools are helpful for you and you are going to translate the messages, I would like to exchange the lsp files on osd.cad.de to have bi-lingual files then.
